| Description |
The War of Independence was a dark period in the history of Balbriggan as it was for many areas in Ireland. But the Sack of Balbriggan in September 1920 was a sad night for the town when the Black and Tans based in Gormanston Barracks sacked and burned 25 houses, the Deedes Templars Mill, and a small factory in the town. This was in reprisal for the killing of Detective Inspector Peter Burke of the Royal Irish Constabulary (R.I.C.) Several people were arrested and two local men, Seamus Lawless and Sean Gibbons were bayoneted to death. A plaque on the bridge on Bridge Street commemorates the location and date of their death. A commission was later set up in the United States to investigate the outrages being committed, and money was raised in the USA to rebuild the areas of the town affected. |
